The whole point of professional wrestling is to make a scripted fight look real. Wrestler train for years on how to correctly pull or locate their punches and kicks, and how to fall from any slams or jumps.
Well, looks like Titus O'Neil skipped a few lessons.
O'Neil — a former Florida Gator defensive lineman — is a bit notorious for being rougher in the ring than he is supposed to be. That definitely showed here against U.S. Champion Rusev, as O'Neil went for a stomp as Rusev was on the ground. O'Neil caught Rusev clean with the kick, and the champion let him, and everyone at home, know just how he felt about the contact.
"F**k you, you son of a b***h!"
Well, that's not exactly PG...

O'Neil hit Rusev hard enough that even the ref stepped in momentarily to make sure that the "Bulgarian Brute" had some time to recover.
Things in WWE already hard enough while the guys are being as careful as they can. A real stomp square on the shoulder probably didn't help things, and you can guarantee that the company isn't too happy that the response got picked up on the mic.
Seeing as both guys are pretty big dudes, hopefully they settled this in the back without too many fireworks.
